Bobbi Brown Thread

[meganlisa]

The Bobbi Brown thread.  Bobbi Brown was the first brand that got me excited about makeup.  So I'll always have a soft spot for BB.  And now Sephora has the amazing 25 year year palette.

Note, the holiday lip shade is sold out on Nordstrom.  I'm going to be watching for it on Sephora's site.

@Ispend2much6 I don't either!

[Ispend2much6]

I looked at her site; it might be a special shade since it's only shown i the set! All of the above sets are on her site (except for the lipstick coffret.) @meganlisa

[meganlisa]

@Ispend2much6 I want that lipstick coffret!!!  So frustrating...I have that discount code.  I'm going to wait a bit as it doesn't expire until early October.  Hope the lipstick isn't a Nordstrom exclusive!

[Ispend2much6]

I agree.  I think, very rarely are those "exclusive to" offers true anyway.

Added this to the brand list on Beauty news 🙂 THX!

[meganlisa]

@veronika23  Thank you!  You're so organized!!!

[veronika23]

You are welcome @meganlisa.  I sometimes forget which brand thread is on BT so might as well have links to them in one place. 😄

That is a beautiful palette, I just wonder what the price point on this will be, this is one that I would love to get.

[poohblueberry]

@obnurse86 The palette is $200. You can see Tati's review of it on Youtube. 🙂

[DaintyDiva]

Just saw this at Nordies, thought it might interest the BB fans here 🙂

[Ispend2much6]

@meganlisa  FYI- I saw on another site that someone called Nordstrom and discovered that the size of these lipsticks is .07 oz.  The size of the regular ones is .12 oz. 

[meganlisa]

@Ispend2much6 Small!!!  I guess for that price...

I did call BB direct and they will have it in October but don't know when.  Cutting it close with that coupon.  I might just take that chance.

Or, look at the lip palette @TriesToBoClassy mentions below.

I don't "need" more lipstick...

[Ispend2much6]

@meganlisa, I want to be honest when I give my opinions about products, taking into consideration that everyone's needs are different.

I purchased the University Lip Palette last year, and promptly sent it back.  The quality of the lipsticks is not the same as the ones that come in the tube.  Very waxy and not smooth.  They even smelled differently.  Maybe I got a dud, but I have found that more often than not the palettes that manufacturers put out do not match the quality of their individual items.

[meganlisa]

@Ispend2much6 I tend to be pretty honest too and, if I offend someone, well it is just my opinion.

I normally avoid lip palettes (like the plague) though I did just order a Cle de Peau one (so pretty).

I'm going to see if I can use my BB code on this...and hope that it's on the site before it expires.  If not, I'll get something else.

Thanks for the honesty!!!

[TriesToBoClassy]

A lot of these shades should be in the Bobbi Brown University lip palette ($60). It's one i go back to regularly.

[Ispend2much6]

Oh, wow!  Her lipsticks are my favorite of her products!

[meganlisa]

@DaintyDiva This does interest me.  That is a lovely set.  Not sure I can justify it (do I have any Nordstrom notes hanging around?) but I still remember the original BB line and this makes me nostalgic.  

Are you getting it?

[DaintyDiva]

@meganlisa no... but I think it's beautiful, it would make a nice gift.

[PaletteAddict99]

Oh no :0  not another anaversery lip set.....so many lip sets...

[Ispend2much6]

@meganlisa  Just so you know the vouchers expire October 9.

I don't have enough points for the BB reward, so I'm hoping for Hourglass. 

I did have a giftcard to Bloomie's, so I'm expecting the Union Jack eyeliner any day now.  Since I wear mostly neutral eyeshadows, I really like the idea of wearing more daring eyeliners.  I can always pare it down by applying it on top of a black liquid liner if need be.  Love that trick!

And, I'm thinking that it will match well with YSL's Faux Cils mascara in blue.  I like to add that on top of black mascara, but just from the underside of the base of my top lashes to halfway up the lashes.  I think it adds a brightening effect without being too much (I like subtle makeup.)  Sorry for writing a novel!

[meganlisa]

@Ispend2much6 I like more subtle makeup too. Occasionally I go a little wild but mostly it's more muted.  When busy, easy and natural (idiot proof) looks save me.

I totally get your point on mixing the bright eyeliners/mascaras/black.  What a great idea!  I have a bright shu uemura I don't wear often and i should try it with a black liner.
